Tomorrow I should be buying a Juwel Rio 180l.
My plan is to run tbis low tech.
So I will summarize my pkan as follows:
substrate - this will be aquatic compost as layer one, gravel as layer two,
and black sand as layer three.
plants - I will plant thus heavily from the start with easy plants.
lights - will use Juwel lights but will cover one tube with foil
so light will be 50%. They will be on six hours. Is this ok?
fertilization - once a week. Can you advise on dosage and which product to use?
water change - once a week fifty percent.
I have other questions in addition to the ones above.
I will be replacing the juwel filter carbon with white flosd. Do
I also need to replace the Nitrate sponge?
Should I use seachem prime to help cycling?
Do I need to warm the water even if fish will not be introduced for a few weeks yet?
Advice gratefully appreciated.
thanks
